Association between maternal micronutrient status, oxidative stress and common genetic variants in antioxidant enzymes at 15 weeks’ gestation in nulliparous women who subsequently develop pre-eclampsia (2014)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Gill, C., Kurlak, L., Seed, P. T., Hestketh, J., Meplan, C., Schomburg, L., Chappell, L. C., Morgan, L., & Poston, L. (2015). Association between maternal micronutrient status, oxidative stress and common genetic variants in antioxidant enzymes at 15 weeks’ gestation in nulliparous women who subsequently develop pre-eclampsia. Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 78, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2014.10.580

Aims: Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy-specific condition affecting 2-7% of women and a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Deficiencies of specific micronutrient antioxidant activities associated with copper, selenium, zinc...

Expression of voltage-dependent potassium channels in first trimester human placentae (2014)
Journal Article
Mistry, H. D., Kurlak, L., Whitley, G. S., Cartwright, J. E., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Tribe, R. M. (2014). Expression of voltage-dependent potassium channels in first trimester human placentae. Placenta, 35(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2014.02.008

Potassium channel α-subunits encoded by KCNQ1-5 genes form voltage-dependent channels (Kv7), modulated by KCNE1-5 encoded accessory proteins. The aim was to determine KCNQ and KCNE mRNA expression and assess protein expression/localisation of the KCN...
